MASSENA—Three movies will be shown Wednesday (July
26) at the admission-free Hawkins Point Visitors Center at the New
York Power Authority’s St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power
Project.

The program, the second in the Visitors Center’s
series of “Beat the Heat Summer Movie Days” that will continue
throughout the summer, begins at 10 a.m. with “Dr. Doolittle.”
“Daddy Day Care” will follow at 1 p.m. and “Are We There Yet??” at 3
p.m. All showings will be in the Visitors Center theater.

“Dr. Doolittle,” starring Eddie Murphy, tells the
story of a talented veterinarian who is able to hear animals talk
and is understood by them when he responds.
In the comedy “Daddy Day Care,” two
fathers (Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin) lose their jobs and are forced
to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become
stay-at-home fathers. The two dads open their own day care
facility. Ice Cube stars in “Are We There Yet??” He volunteers to
bring the children of his new girlfriend to Portland, Ore., for the
New Year as she is kept away on business, but the kids are
determined to turn the trip into a nightmare.

Besides enjoying the movies, visitors can sample
the array of hands-on exhibits at the $5 million Hawkins Point
facility, which presents information on such themes as Water Power
and the St. Lawrence-FDR project, Basics of Electricity and Uses of
Electricity. Another highlight is the panoramic view of the
project’s power dam from Hawkins Point.

The visitors center is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
